Coming Soon 〰️ Mangkhut: Stories in the Air 〰️
Richard is, without doubt, one of the most important voice teachers in the world today and the fact that he is about to complete his book is nothing short of thrilling.
- Kristin Linklater, voice teacher, author of Freeing the Natural Voice and Freeing Shakespeare’s Voice
Richard is one of my main teachers and a lasting mentor. Mangkhut: Stories in the Air offers the opportunity for many more to come into contact with his teaching, his person and his unique vision.
- Barbara Hannigan. Conductor and soprano
He has written a memoir as unique, engaging and altogether brilliant as the man himself. This is a singular take on life, art, voice, and pedagogy – as well as a playful reinvention of the memoir form.
- Grace Zandarski, Professor in the Practice of Acting, Head of Voice & Text, David Geffen School of Drama, Yale
Richard Armstrong’s Mangkhut is a most moving and intimate evocation of a life, crystallized through multiple prisms: a passionate, stained-glass study or rich traveling tapestry.
- Kevin Crawford, voice teacher, poet, co-author of Roy Hart, former MFA Program Director, Accademia dell’Arte, Arezzo, Italy
His students follow him around the world, flying thousands of miles to take yet another workshop. In class, he has the noble bearing, the sureness and beauty of a lion and yet presents the work simply and in a manner that never encourages his students to make a guru of him.
- Fides Krucker, singer and teacher, author of Reclaiming Calliope: Freeing the Female Voice through Undomesticated Singing
